whats wrong with c++?

it has namespaces, better standard libraries, a plethora of modern conveniences, and all of c's functionality.

if you don't like objects don't use them

if you want to feel like a programming badass and do everything low level then learn assembly

C++ classes are more than just glorified syntactic sugar (like using the dot operator to access members that bind the this pointer). You get RAII, polymorphism, encapsulation, operator overloading, functors, and so much more. You're never going to do real OO with C structs and function pointers. Deal with it, it's why C++ was created.
